Create a date table that works with date columns in multiple tables

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I'm new to Power BI and have been tasked with visualizing customer activity data. I have been given 3 different fact tables:

transactions: data for every transaction made (date, type, etc.)

user: data for user's accounts (created date, user id, status, etc.)

envelope: data about users: (envelope id, user id, etc.)

I need to be able to make a single date table that is connected to both the transaction date and user created date. I've seen posts about using USERELATIONSHIP() but in the scenarios I've seen, the inactive relationship that is used in USERELATIONSHIP() is with a column within the same table as the already established relationship. Is there a way to make a date table work with two different date columns that are in two different tables? 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

it is normal to have one date table connected with more fact tables like in this example

Have you already tried? What is your specific problem?

Hi @mangaus1111, 

Thanks for the quick response. 

I've attached a screenshot of my relationships. The date table has an active relationship with one of the desired tables and an inactive one with the other. Apologies for not being able to describe the problem that well I don't quite understand what's happening. 

It's also worth saying that the dax formula for my date table is:

CALENDAR(MIN('public transaction'[date]), MAX('public transaction'[date]))

Could it be a problem with the other tables being related to each other already? Or that my dax only references the one column in the transaction table?
